The consumer-price index showed U.S. inflation rose 0.2% in June for a year-over-year rate of 3%, according to a report Wednesday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Core CPI, which excludes energy and food prices, increased 0.2% last month for a year-over-year rate of 4.8%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said core inflation’s rise in June marked the smallest monthly increase since August 2021.
